retain their network address while moving within the domain, simplifying QoS support. Furthermore, reliability is achieved through maintaining soft-state forwarding entries for the mobile hosts and leveraging fault detection mechanisms built in existing intradomain routing protocols. HAWAII defaults

Global IP mobility solutions using Mobile IP or SIP are not optimized to handle micro-mobility management. �or micro-mobility situations, lowlatency handoffs are essential to reduce performance degradation. Host-based routing (HBR) schemes such as HAWAII, Cellular IP, and Micro-Mobility

This work explores the role of executive compensation in determining the capital structure de-cisions of a firm. CEOs experience a large personal cost of default that interacts through the risk adjusted probability of default with their compensation contract. Since default happens in a partic

and not only of biomasses; (3) explicit consideration ofrespiratory, egestive and excretory losses (with defaults provided for inputs) and of the detritus pathways; (4) estimation ofnumerous derived quantities on species group orwhole-system basis, such as gross and netefficiencies, trophiclevels, food

The state.x77 data set is available by default in R; it’s a compilation of data about the US states put together from the 1977 Statistical Abstract of the United States, with the actual measurements mostly made a few years before. 1 It’s a little long in the tooth now but handy for teaching

Thank you very much. I’m delighted to be able to talk to an audience of community bankers in such a beautiful setting. The 12 th Federal Reserve District stretches from Utah to Hawaii, and from Arizona to Alaska. As I travel around this region, I often think how lucky I am to be able to visit some

Nonlinear regression is increasingly used to develop allometric equations for forest biomass estimation (i.e., as opposed to the traditional approach of log-transformation followed by linear regression). Most statistical software packages, however, assume additive errors by default, violating a key

Hawaii were asked about their motivational factors, rewards and satisfaction. The researchers found out that ESL teachers put more value on intrinsic aspects of their job. Also, a positive relation was found between intrinsic, extrinsic rewards and job satisfaction. Senior According to The Journal

First, I would like to thank my advisors Prof. Gal A. Kaminka and Dr. David Sarne for their excellent guidance and constant support in the past two years. I learned quite a bit about scientific research, all thanks to their great instruction. Working with them was a real pleasure, not only on the professional level, but on the personal level as well. Thanks to my colleagues and friends from the Bar-Ilan University in general, and MAVERICK lab in particular, for the great time we had together. Special thanks to Gabriella Melamed, MAVERICK lab manager, for assisting with administra-tive issues, and in particular for helping with the arrangements for the experiment. I also wish to thank Tal-Oron Gilad from Ben-Gurion University, for providing us with a He-brew translation of the NASA-TLX questionnaire. Thanks to my dear family for their support and encouragement, and for enabling me to com-plete this work. Thanks to my girlfriend for her patience and understanding. Finally, I would like to thank my grandfather, who never ceased to encourage me throughout this journey.

I would like to thank some people who were involved in the creation of this thesis: • Berry Schoenmakers of TU Eindhoven for introducing me to the topic of cryptographic voting protocols. • Evangelos Karatsiolis for his work in guiding me through the process of writing this thesis and his constant motivation. • Roberto Samarone Araujo for hours of discussing various protocols with Evengelos and me. • Warren D. Smith for providing with a preliminary version of his upcoming book »How Mathematics can Improve Democracy«. • Ute Günther and Christian Burgmann for their proof-reading. Nonetheless, any remaing errors shall be blamed on me. • Andrea Peter for her love and for cheering me up when I was down. • Last but not least my parents, Jacqueline Herrnkind and Hans Peter Klink – without their love and continuous support, this thesis would never have been written.
